Chances are this reads like the thoughts of some mad git (which wouldn't be too far wrong, in fairness!), but hey, that's what this place is for!
Originally posted by WojBhoy:Just had a strange moment - was watching a video of the band playing Iris at one of the recent Boston gigs, it was a vid that specifically focused on Edge. As he was noodling around with his delayed riffing, I just had this weird mind blank thinking, where I suddenly thought, here's a guy whose musical stylings, general...everything have played a big part in my life, and yet it felt like it was kind of the first time I was sort of seeing him in a certain light. Can't really explain it, wasn't an epiphany moment, but like I've been to gigs and watched YouTube clips, listened to interviews etc., but yet seeing him lost in the moment really struck me and kind of hit home. What it home with, I'm not sure, but it was a moment nonetheless.

Example: If you were to sit U2 down in 1987 and show them Popmart, what would they say? Would they be like "yuck!"? Or say "I'm glad we're still around and evolved".
Even more intense, what would U2 in 1980 say if they saw themselves now?

I've tried asking that question, actually, during that facebook interview thing. it's something I like to think about a lot, and it looks like bono did, too, if you listen to the new rant on bullet.
